Rare $200 Price Cut Hits Upgraded M5 MacBook Pro 1TB

> At a Glance

> – Apple’s 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro with 1TB storage drops to $1,600, shaving $199 off the usual $1,799 tag

> – Deal applies to both black and silver finishes while stock lasts

> – Why it matters: Upgraded configs rarely go on sale, and this one erases most of Apple’s steep 1TB upgrade fee

Apple’s latest M5-powered 14-inch MacBook Pro just landed at one of its lowest prices ever. The config with double the base storage-1TB instead of 512GB-can be had for $1,600, a rare chance to dodge Apple’s premium upgrade pricing.

What You Get for $1,600

Inside the aluminum chassis sits the 10-core CPU / 10-core GPU M5 chip, 16GB of unified RAM, and the 1TB SSD. CNET editor Lori Grunin praised the machine for delivering “great performance” and an “excellent screen” in her review.

The 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display pumps out HDR highlights at sustained brightness levels few Windows rivals can match.

Connectivity is current-gen:

  • Wi-Fi 6E & Bluetooth 5.3
  • Three Thunderbolt 4/USB-C ports
  • MagSafe 3 charging

Why This Deal Stands Out

Apple lists the 512GB entry model at $1,599, so this sale essentially hands you twice the storage for the same dollars. Upgraded SKUs seldom see discounts, and when they do, inventory evaporates quickly-the retailer’s site already shows limited quantities.

Configuration List Price Deal Price Savings
M5 / 16 GB / 1TB $1,799 $1,600 $199

Key Takeaways

  • $199 savings applies to both black and silver models
  • You gain 1TB SSD without paying Apple’s normal upgrade premium
  • Stock is limited, and the promo may expire without notice

Move fast if you want premium power-plus-portability without the usual Apple tax on storage.
